In Vitro Culture Performance of Allium scorodoprasum L. subsp. rotundum: Effects of Explant Type, Plant Growth Regulators, and Culture Conditions

Abstract

This study was conducted to develop a micropropagation protocol for Allium scorodoprasum L. subsp. rotundum. Root and leaf tissues of plantlets derived from bulbs and mature seeds were used as the explant. The explants were tested on two culture media (MS and B5), twelve hormone combinations (2,4-D: 0.1, 1.0, and 2.0 mg L⁻¹; kinetin: 0.1, 1.0 mg L⁻¹), and two different culture conditions (25 ± 2 °C temperature and continuous darkness for 15 days, 25 ± 2 °C temperature, 16/8 hours light/dark, and 3000 lx light intensity). Regeneration could not be obtained from the leaf explants; after 8 weeks of culture, the leaves darkened and dried out. Callus formation in root explants was achieved in certain combinations. In terms of hormone combinations, the most effective was B5 medium containing 0.1 mg L⁻¹ 2,4-D and 0.1 mg L⁻¹ kinetin. Dark conditions, and the B5 medium provided a significant increase in callus formation compared to the MS medium (P≤0.01). However, the formed calluses darkened without transforming into plants. The findings indicate that the current protocol is insufficient for the in vitro propagation of A. scorodoprasum L. subsp. rotundum and that further optimization works are needed on hormone combinations, concentrations, culture medium, and culture conditions. These findings also contribute to the development of a basic protocol for the in vitro propagation of the subspecies and provide guidance for planning future in vitro studies.
